Answer 1

Evidence suggesting the US government failed to enforce the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo includes continuing border conflicts, disputes over land ownership, violations of cultural rights, and lack of compensation to Mexican landowners.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evidence suggesting that the US government failed to enforce the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo includes:

1. Continuing border conflicts with Mexico
2. Ongoing disputes over land ownership
3. Violations of Mexican cultural rights
4. Lack of compensation to Mexican landowners

Mexicans and Mexican-Americans lost their lands in Texas, California, and New Mexico as the US government declared their land deeds 'imperfect' and ultimately took their lands. Additionally, racial tensions and violence emerged as a result of the US conquest of Mexican territories, further perpetuating the failure to uphold the treaty.
